In Borderlands 4, you can challenge various bosses you have already defeated again to obtain specific loot that can often be very powerful. You can find out which items you can get from which bosses in our list.
How can you farm bosses? Throughout the campaign, you will encounter various bosses that you can farm. To replay them, you do not need to reset the area as in predecessors, but instead use the machines “Moxxi’s Fat Addition Machines”.
You will unlock this after defeating the first boss “Splashzone”. They cost a small amount of Eridium per use. After the campaign ends, Moxxi will explain the system in more detail.
However, to farm the bosses, you should first know which loot they drop. For this reason, we show you the loot table for each boss with all legendary weapons.
